Description
Based on several thousand expert studies, the authors detail how nutrition and lifestyle in the pre-pregnancy period support a woman's health and vitality, female and male fertility, and how together they help create everything necessary for conception and the development of the baby.
Why is nutrition before conception so important?
• It supports optimal health of the egg and sperm.
• It regulates the menstrual cycle and supports balanced hormone levels.
• It promotes the formation of healthy cervical mucus (essential for the survival of sperm on their way to fertilizing the egg).
• It ensures adequate development of the uterine lining (for the safe implantation of the embryo).
• It supports the formation of a functional placenta with robust vasculature for nutrient transfer from mother to child (requiring a great synergy of a healthy egg, healthy sperm, healthy uterine lining, and a healthy mother).
• It may reduce some pregnancy complications due to better support for the physiological adaptation of the body to the stresses of pregnancy.
• It mitigates nutrient losses during pregnancy and alleviates often lower nutritional intake in early pregnancy (due to nausea and loss of appetite).
• It reduces the risks of nutrient deficiencies after childbirth.
